“The first ‘first’!
On 23rd March I opened Tresor for the first time as part of their collaboration event with Surgeon. Tony was upstairs in Globus playing with Jesse Doris all night, I think they clocked out at about 7.5 hours in the end. I played 2300 – 0300, warming up for Sorcery’s live set, DJ Pete and Liza Aikin.
I was cutting it fairly short as I arrived in Berlin, and went straight to Tresor for a quick soundcheck which was probably more useful for my own composure than it was to see if the sound system was working (it was).
This was the first time playing a 4 hour solo set and in truth, I’d had some anxieties about the whole thing in the weeks leading up to it. Luckily I settled into it fairly quickly and I’d say this is largely down to the staff, crowd, sound system and atmosphere. I’m not sure how often people are subjected to techno (ish) sounds at 90/100bpm at Tresor but I thought that would be a good place to start while the room filled up and it seemed like people were into it.
I did notice 1 patron bang their firsts next to the cage in a ‘four-to-the-floor’ type pattern at one point though. I remember thinking ‘yeah don’t worry we’ll get there’ haha
Fortunately the 4 hours flew by, and I finished pretty happy with how I played. Ran lots of my favourite bits and ultimately enjoyed operating within the parameters of a space like that. Highlights included Alex Coulton – Bounce, Terrain – Choices, anything from this label, and this new one on Blueprint.
